Restaurant Review: Blue Ash Chili - Springdale

No – your eyes are not deceiving you – I just took a crappy fuzzy pic. I was hungry – that’s my only excuse.

So there we were – finally trying the Blue Ash Chili by Tri-County Mall – we’ve been to the other two locations (Mason & Blue Ash) – but not to the one near the mall. We met up after work one night to check it out.

Blue Ash Chili was on Diners, Drive Ins & Dives and one of the items featured were their Jalapeno Caps ($4.99) so I decided to order some. The order was HUGE! There were enough for 4 people! Unfortunately for me – they were way too spicy and I barely put a dent in the pile. The server even mention that this batch was much spicier than normal – so apparently it’s a bit of a crap shoot depending on how well they cleaned out the peppers.

Larry got 2 cheese coneys ($1.89) – I think I snagged a bite after he was finished. Good stuff here. (I still love me some Gold Star.)

Want to save this recipe for later?

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it anytime!

I didn’t have to even think for 2 minutes about my order – I saw Nick’s Special ($7.69) and jumped on it. Chicken salad, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo and American cheese on grilled rye. Yum and yum!

It was a huge mess but it was a deliciously indulgent mess. The chicken salad was perfect – super simple – chicken, celery, mayo – and the bacon was done perfectly – crispy and fatty at the same time – then topped with cheese, ripe tomato and crisp lettuce. I loved every bite.

Why Should You Go? Well – a friend of mine just texted me yesterday asking for a lunch spot near Tri County – I told her Blue Ash Chili. She texted back and said they loved it and that Blake (husband) has a new favorite place! THAT is a ringing endorsement!
